The health risk associated with Vasectomy is nothing compared to all the forms of female birth control, its also 99% permenent, where as most of the female pills, shots etc are for when they are taken or done.
Had one done a few years ago, local only. No issues at all, the thought is much worse than the action here. Make sure to get a few bags of frozen pees so you can rotate them in and out of the freezer. Rest and don't over do it for a few days. Very very simple procedure. My brother is also a...
Like any other merger they will eventually merge products, some will stop being produced and others will thrive. Hopefully it affects pricing in a positive way for consumers.
I have 2 MP40s on my tank, extremely quiet and generate a perfect amount of flow. If you have an Apex or other controller the programming is great and generates so many flow choices.
Very interesting discussion. I run all three as well but have had some nasty LPS die off lately. Was thinking of halting the GFO for a while just to see how things behave. Not happy because originally I added Biopellets to reduce my nitrates, which has helped but if its hurting LPS like the...
Would running the Skimmer in a more 'wet' state help? I have done this in the past just means you have to empty it sooner but it may aide with removing some of the biological waste. Where are you located? I am making water right now for a change tomorrow but could spare some.
Ok funny topic and very good timing for me. I have always wanted to maintain my pH to be at least 8.2. Even though I know anything higher than 7.8 is acceptable it just is something I wanted to do. No matter what I did with my ALK it would always drop within a day. Didn't matter the time of...
I agree with the sentiment that as your tank/experience grow people probably test less and less. Personally I check salinity so that my weekly water changes are on par. For the most part my testing is done when I feel like i need to check something, normally Calc and ALK. I use Redsea and...
Just a quick note here: The voltage that triggers the dosers to shut on/off is very low. With my apex it had to be in the last 2 ports of my Energy bar as those are the only two that support this low voltage. Either they didn't turn on or once they were on they wouldn't turn off.
As far as...
Every Thursday I turn on my RODI, aided by a booster pump, and fill a brute with about 30 gallons of water. The container will do 45 but I don't go that high normally. It takes about 7 hours for that amount to be made. I heat the water and have a circulation pump in it. Later that day I add...
They have to remain wet or the contacts dry out and become bad, at least that is my understanding. Calibrating is pretty straight forward but can take several minutes to do, patience is required.
